Welcome to our weekly fitness blog!
As an osteopath in Hamburg, I know how important regular exercise is for your health.
This week I will introduce you to a powerful exercise that strengthens your muscles and improves your endurance: Plank Jacks.
Find out how this exercise works, what benefits it offers and how to perform it correctly.
This week we present the Plank Jacks exercise.
This dynamic plank variation combines the benefits of a static forearm support with a jumping movement that increases your heart rate and strengthens your muscles at the same time.
Ideal for anyone who wants to take their fitness to the next level!
Effective fitness exercises: Plank jacks for more strength and endurance
Notes on the exercises
- Positioning: Start in the plank position with your hands shoulder-width apart and your feet together.
- Execution: Jump your feet outwards so that they land outside the mat and jump back again.
- Posture: Keep a straight line from your feet to your neck and avoid a hollow back.
- Repetitions: Beginners can perform the exercise for 30 seconds, while advanced exercisers should repeat the sequence three times, each time with 30 seconds rest.
